Yungerer is a corruption of Uri Geller (with リ ri replaced by the
visually similar ン n), who claims to have the ability to bend spoons
with his mind, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on
famous mystics. Geller attempted to make a case against Nintendo of
America for using his likeness in a character and lost, Nintendo's
defense being that they had not named any Pokémon after actual people.
